you obviously have a problem with T-REX. DON'T INCLUDE ME IN YOUR PERSONAL SQUABLES! Just because I stood up for the guy do not involve me in your continued personal attacks against T-REX. both you and T-REX can take a long walk off a short cliff for all i care.
Ah, I think you have to keep in mind that there are commercial interests involved in running a site like this too. It's not about the feelings of you or anyone else - it's about money and having fun getting it. At least that's why I started up my own companies while at university.
It all depends on the individual and their nick/handle. Some of them care greatly about their efforts and their nick. Some automated moderation/scoring would of course avoid many of the recent problems, but let's face it - it's also related to aggrevation in the markets - world events - attitude changes toward US policies etc. So these things will surely vary with seasonal changes.
Baron, i think you need to add Bruto Blukowski to your list. he is beginning to be quite a nuisance and quite frankly i have grown weary of him bringing me into his angry rampage. p.s. Baron i thought you had rules regarding harassment on this site? yet you allow Bruto Blukowski to continue stalking ET members. i think you should enforce your rules against harassment and get rid of Bruto and whatever other aliases he trolls about ET with.
